I don’t know how much more mental, spiritual and physical abuse I can take from the most conservative president ever. Oblomova brings us today’s example of Obama’s GBLT hatred [via the White House Blog, 19/7/11]:

President Obama is proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act, which is being introduced by Senator Feinstein and Congressman Nadler in the Senate on July 20. This legislation would uphold the principle that the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as straight couples.

The President has long called for a legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which continues to have a real impact on the lives of real people — our families, friends and neighbors.

It’s enough to make you cry out “How long, O Lord. How long?”

I realize the chances this bill (which has been knocking around for some time) will pass are still somewhere between Snowflake Baby in Hell and Glass Hammer in a Blacksmith’s Workshop.

However, I’m near the mid-point of decade four so the fact some legislators, never mind the president, are being rational and fair and not hateful-shits-for-political-gain about this still leaves me stunned and giddy*.

One response to “President Obama’s homophobic reign of terror continues”

The bigots have a very limited shelf life. They lost the war, and they know it. I wish the Pres. would be the fire-breathing leftist the opposition portrays him as, but at least he’s a decent human being.
